Apple picking extravaganza!

21 October 2012

Twas a magical experience.This is the freshest apple I have ever eaten.

I picked it off the tree, and put it in my mouthie.

A perfect sweet and crispy crunch.

There were so many apples and these coolio birdies.

We went up to the California mountains for these apples and it was a lovely time with lovely peeps.

Grandad and I picking apples early in the morn. :)

Last night I went to the ice cream shop with my funny uncle Jaret and his friend Morgan.
There was a girl paying for her ice cream looking all in her purse for a quarter to finish paying. She couldn’t find one.
So I gave her a quarter.
She said thanks so much and kept looking in her purse.
Then she pulled out this little star and gave it to me and said ,”here,” and walked away.

I’m in Ojai, CA for a while working on some body-mind-spirit progress. :)
A lovely journey in a beautiful place with such good peoples.
I’m learning lots. That’s importantíssimo.
I’m trying to make the best use of 24 hours each day.
I’m grateful to be here.

Goodbye my sweet Alaska.

7 October 2012

I am so grateful for FaceTime.
I really miss Alaska and the peoples there that I love. I need to love everyone always.
I’ve been in Utah for a week and it has been great. I’ve been able to spend time with lots more people I love.
And I’m going to general conference tomorrow!
I’ve been going to the temple often. Thank goodness.
Soon I’m off to California and then Arizona and then back to the home front. :)
The world needs lots of prayers right now.
I’m grateful for general conference.
I’m grateful there are so many peeps I love. I wish I could be around them all at the same time. Hopefully in Heaven. That’s the plan Stan.

Chris and I have been teaching seminary for the past week.
Omg I love it and I love seminary.
And I love the New Testament and studying it like in my Jerusalem days.
I love coloring lovely scriptures rainbow.
I love rainbows.
“The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.”
That’s what I need to do.
Right this second.
Tchau tchau.

I love sundays.
I cleaned no boats this sunday too. Divine.
So I got in a sunday nap.

And a sunday journaling session.

It was a sunny sunday, which are usually the best kind.

yum yums

10 September 2012

I love chocolate.

A lot. And lately I have been feeling the need for lots of it. :)

Lisa, Holly, and I made healthy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies one sunny day.

I ate unhealthy amounts but still feel preeeetty good about life.

I have also found myself addicted to chocolate bread from Two Sisters Bakery.

Chris and I went on a chocolate bread and hot chocolate date and it was yum yum yummy.

And my beautiful mother surprised me with a chocolate bread yesterday morning too! :)

I somehow ended up at McDonald’s twice in one night too.

I’m not a McDonald’s fan really and never go,

but sometimes a baby cone calls your name.

And sometimes a rolo mcflurry shouts for you too.

I brought some ultra mini cupcake cups back from Brasil,

and so my amazing sista Holly girl made mini cupcakes!

And my dear ol’ father had a birthday.

These glasses were a salvation army find that I gave to him two years ago as a birthday present. tee hee. Found them again and gave them again! I’m sure he loves them.

And since Pops was joking that I just sit around eating bon bons all day,

I had to buy some bon bons for his birthday celebration.

PS I got out of my car at the grocery store and almost stepped on a soggy poptart.

I love yum yums.

And I love fresh carrots from the farmers market!

up to? up to?

Cody is my beach buddy.

We went on a few beach excursions this week and it was lovely.

I still spend time in the harbor everyday, scrubbing boats and making some monies.

I’ll be doing this until I leave my Alaska land in a few weeks.

And I play with these two little girlies everyday!

I love them to pieces and they make me sooo happy.

We go on lots of adventures and I am not looking forward to leaving them.

Life has changed since my iPhone, Gladys, came into my existence.

I no longer use my camera to take pictures and I don’t use my computer very much.

My computer, Lucy, is at the doctor’s anyways.

I just have the world at my fingertips with Gladys around though. :)

Went to the temple this weekend and watched an Elder Holland fireside.

I love being home and with all these peeps I love!

But nossa gente, it’s getting chilly!

At 4 am I noticed it was a mere 35 degrees!

29 August 2012

My dear, soon to be dentist, brother Jake, was home for a month, but now he’s back in New Jersey at school. Wish he were still here with us. I love good times with him, especially when he takes us to the bakery!

Holly girl and I took him up to the big city of Anchorage and twas a sad good bye.

But then I got to go thrift shopping and things improved. I LOVE thrift stores.

And check out the sweet headband I bought. Score.

Twas a beautiful sunny day.

Holly and I went CHAGA hunting.

And then we cleaned three boats at midnight. :)

a day with my homegirls :)

14 August 2012

I love that all my favorite ladies have been in the same place at the same time.

My mamacita and my sistas and my angel nieces.

We went to Two Sisters Bakery for some goodies.

OMG I’m so in love with this chocolate bread.

Me and Natalie girl hula hooped outside.

And on the way home, Natalie and Katy and I stopped for a watermelon berry picking excursion.

We do love our adventure walks.

And an adventure drive in my Penelope ride is good now and again too.

We also had a chaga tea party! Yes yes!

Then I took the girlies to the store because I needed to buy my Dave’s Killer Bread.

And we went and got a bunch of books from the library!

And we got some dove promises from a lovely friend.

Theeeeeennnn… we ate a giant pizza.

And Chris took our family pictures.

A most excellent day.

grumpy kayak day

14 August 2012

Scott, Stacy, Dad, and I paddled across the bay a few days ago.

I was grumpy pants.

I did not want to be there and I did not want to be doing that.

I did bust out a smile for a picture with Pops.

But I was not too happy all morning long.

Don’t know why.

Crazy lady.

But these three peeps here are excellent kayak companions, and brought smiles to my grumpus pumpus face.

This little leaf made me happy too.

And the sunshine was a huge plus.

What made the biggest difference was me having a solo dance party on the beach to I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) by the Proclaimers. It’s totally one of my new most favorite songs and makes me a happy girl.

The end of the day was lovely with a food party complete with salmon fish kabobs.

Alaska

I enjoy these things.

11 August 2012

I enjoy playing with my nieces and my Cody boy and making art.

I enjoy all the time spent in my Penelope ride.

I enjoy finding presents, and giving presents, and being present.

I enjoy time spent in perfect nature with my favorite peoples.

And I enjoy studying from the religion student manuals.

I’ve been enjoying so many things with such lovely people that I have been blog neglecting.

“I’m a bad boy!”

And right now, I’m about to go enjoy some time camping across the bay.

Yes, Matilda Hilda Ukulele will be joining me, because she makes things more enjoyable.

West Homer Elementary

9 August 2012

I went to my elementary school the other day and it was so weird.

I saw the place where I threw up strawberries in the hall.

I remembered my Quest days when I’d read books and drink hot chocolate with Mrs. Ladd.

I thought about fun times in music class.

I pondered about being a teacher. Still sounds good to me.

And I saw the school pictures on the wall.

Can you spot Chelsea in her 3rd – 6th grade days?

playing with the kiddies

2 August 2012

I like to adventure with the kiddos.

My two nieces are my favorite.

We made a lego house for the cat.

I took them to the Timeless Toys to spend their monies.

They played puppy.

There’s lots of other cool kiddos too. And we play in the forest.

The Bradshaw kids came over too. So of course we went exploring.

On our exploration to the bridge, I got verrrrrry allergic.

But we did made wishes with dandelions!

So it all works out in the end.

a sunny thursday and a rainy saturday

2 August 2012

a lovely thursday evening bonfire with good friends and good s’mores

The elders stopped by and shared a spiritual thought with us.

I looooove missionaries.

And we loved the sunny days!

Then came the rain. We like some rain too.

The nieces had a sleepover with me and Mom.

In the morning, we journeyed to the Farmers Market and the Street Faire.

And a stop at Two Sisters Bakery too!

omg such good chocolate bread…

Then my dear Penelope girl got sick at Islands and Oceans visitors center.

Her alternator went bad, but most fortunately that car is a trooper and she never dies.
